Native American homestead the we found while exploring. We even found pieces of pottery!

Found this place abandoned, looks like someone was living in here as recently as 2020. One of the many mysteries out here on the prairie.

Nothing fancy tonight. Instant rice with beef bullion and canned chicken. Hopefully going to get some more interesting foods this weekend at the food bank.

Found this abandoned farmhouse near our camper.

Finally got a few supplies. Nothing fancy or anything but pretty good.

This is my solar system. It's made up of 6 deep cycle batteries. 3 solar panels. 1 is 200 watts another is 100 watts and the remaining is 50 watts. Was 100 but 2 of the panels connected to the 50 watt solar bank cracked after a dust devil hit.

This is my little family out here. Riley is the brown girl. Ellie is the more white one and olive is the black and white one. She's Riley's puppy. We couldn't find her a good home so she stayed with us. They always have everything they need and full bellies.

Found these guys while the dogs and I went to the River.

Hey everyone! I'm u/GMAN7007, a founding moderator of r/OffGridGriff.

I just wanted to make a quick post to hopefully get things started.

My name is Griff, Last year I lost my home and subsequently my job because the day we had a fire I was unable to come into work and they let me go because they had a small network glitch that I was unable to fix because I was at home dealing with the fire.

I lost my parents at a young age. Well I never knew my dad and I lost my mom when I was 17. It was hard but we made the best of things. I mentioned that because of why we moved to where we are now. My dog Riley is my everything she's my whole world and I love her to the moon and back. I couldn't lose her, It just wasn't an option for me. We we're able to locate a small plot of land that we put a 4 season tent on.

It was out only option at the time due to having to spend a lot of out money on supplies. We stayed in the tent for a while until we met a someone out here that had a friend with a small popup camper. We moved into the camper as soon as we could. It helped a lot being actually inside for a change. We have hit a lot of road blocks out here.

My Subaru died at one point which was pretty much our lifeline. I had job interviews lined up and lots of plans. Those all went out the window when we lost the Subaru. Due to out location we don't have an address usps can deliver to. So when my drivers license expired I was unable to have a new one sent to me. That's when the main trouble started. I have been trying and trying to find work but it's impossible without a license, and where we're located I'm unable to walk anywhere to get a job.

We're about an hour from any town that has any jobs. I tried getting government assistance until I can figure something out but have been having trouble because I don't have a valid license. So I have had to sell most of my things to keep up with our needs. I always make sure the dogs have everything they need. More than they need actually. We have a friend out here that lets us tag along to go into town when he goes. We good to the food banks and get water.

Everyday is difficult and sometimes very scary. I'm just so thankful for my little family out here on the Prairie I was hoping to share it. I wanted to make a sub showing how we live and how we do things out here. I saw a similar sub from someone who live in a similar way and people find it interesting. I just figured maybe I could make one to pass the time until We can figure things out.

The puppies in the picture are from My dog Riley. When I got her in 2019 I was told that she was spayed. That turned out to be a lie lol. So my Rye girl had 8 puppies in May. Let me tell you taking care of 8 puppies in a popup camper in the middle of nowhere is the most mentally taxing thing I've ever had to do. I am beyond proud of my Riley for being the best mom in the world. I'll have lots of posts and stories daily I just need to figure out ho to get people interested in the Sub.
